Our home, the place of our first step to the world and our streets that are the place we used our last steps of our last farewell. First contact with our neihgnboors kids, first friendships, first games of our childhood. A convoy of circumcision, a bride and a funeral procession community ...

An expected beloved of a street or nearby a fountain.

Ramadan drummers we woke up with their sounds, sweet flurry just before Ramadan and peaceful tranquility ... Sounds of street vendors that feeling of a concert ...

Mutual appeared in two rows, blocking the sun and the views of each other, each other and the streets consisting of houses built in a way to live in deferent.

Through to the life from home, located in the center of the street life for the reason it contains all the elements of life.

Buildings turn to warm homes by the evening. Streets that are embracing left alones.

Streets still indispensable for photographs with these specialties. Footprints of photographers on streets and cities. The streets show us the reflection of feelings of photographers by their snaps.

We are waiting for your images that shows us the streets with building, children, people, games. Show us the real life in streets.
